It should be incremental backup right? How > do you guys make incremental/differential backup? If your backup server is on the same LAN, or you the connection between machines is not "expensive", you could always consider MySQL replication. I'm in the process of setting up dbmail for the first time and this is how I plan to do it. (I have a gigabit link between the main and backup machines). I am trying, as much as possible, to have my backup machine "hot", so that it can take over immediately if the main one dies.
that is like 'mirroring' right? errmm..maybe i'll try it someday. right now can anybody share with me on differential/incremental backup?
